About Sunbeam Foods
A little history
SUNBEAM FOODS Pty Ltd was established in 1926 and originally named Co-operative Dried Fruit Sales Pty Ltd. The Company was formed by three packing companies, Mildura Co-operative Fruit Company Ltd, Irymple Packing Pty Ltd and Sarnia Packing Pty Ltd who recognised that the Sales and Marketing of Australian Dried Fruit required specialised knowledge and focus.
Over time the breadth of the companies activities has evolved and the company name changed to match the Brand "Sunbeam" which is known by millions of Australian consumers.
In 80 years, the Company has had many changes in ownership and facilities and is now a part of Food Holdings Pty Ltd.
The SUNBEAM logo is steeped in the heritage of the Sunraysia area. Depicting golden bright rays of sunshine, the logo encompasses all that is Sunraysia.
